Non-notable fictional character from likely non-notable fictional series. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  01:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete concur with nom.--the play series itself seems local and nn, so the unsourced article on this character also is nn. JJL (talk) 02:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The play that is referenced is a local New York City production, but one that's getting a lot of press, and continued sold out shows. The future of this show is bright, both in the theatrical sense and beyond.  And I will add sources to article as well.Wrongallday (talk) 03:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)wrongallday
 * Even so, how does this character in particular establish notability outside of the production? &mdash; neuro  (talk)  04:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I picked this character from the production because he had an interesting story that the writers happen to mix with real life characters, and he was the driving force in the story. Would it be more appropriate to establish the page as the entire production itself, which has run for over 12 months in NYC, and has a rapid fan base (that will hopefully go beyond the theatre production into possible planned film adaptations?) &mdash;  Wrongallday  (talk)   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.252.97 (talk) 06:40, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If you can provide press coverage of that show, a general article on the show, including the set of characters and the respective actors might actually be of interest and constitute a notable article. De728631 (talk) 09:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment thanks for adding the reviews! I think you'd have a better chance at making a case for the notability of the show series itself (which might require more third-pary sources than are currently in it to establish its notability per Wikipedia standards). The current text could be merged there and this set to redirect to that page. JJL (talk) 14:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination. The character alone is not notable. De728631 (talk) 09:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added reviews, articles, and websites showing it's growing popularity and general interest in the show, helping to prove that it's a general notable article. If need be, the article can also be changed to be about the "Penny Dreadful" episodes itself, not just character Leslie Caldwell.Wrongallday (talk) 03:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)wrongallday
 * Note multiple vote. JJL (talk) 03:44, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I agree, after reading all of this, that the article about the show should have been written first, so I agree. Delete the article I posted.. Wrongallday
 * done. DGG (talk) 23:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
